Is there a big e.t. difference from 1.80 to 1.94 or is it minimal? At 130 mph should this go into the 9.90 range? Same combo with a stick was going 133 mph.

I'm going to trans brake it and I dont think the stock 1.76 gear will last plus I want to break into the 9's and I think it will need more than the 1.76 gear.

ow yes 1.76 will last even longer sens u running a small block 383 how much motor u got? I ran 1.76 with 406 for yrs low 10s and never broke in 3300 pound car tried 1.96 gear set and car did not like it to much first gear for the power
